Mutated BAP1 activates Multiple Myeloma. 4 / 4
| 4

reach
"We recently reported in vivo genetic evidence that germline heterozygous mutation of Bap1 accelerates development of asbestos induced MM."

reach
"BAP1 is the most promising driver gene in MM pathogenesis, because more than 60% of MM biopsies contain BAP1 mutations and inactivation [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR] and germline BAP1 mutations cause a cancer syndrome with high incidence of MM [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"A possible explanation is that germline BAP1 mutations alone can cause MM and many other tumor types."

reach
"We are investigating how germline BAP1 mutations on one hand promote MM development, while on the other hand they are associated to reduce disease aggressiveness."
